In the afternoon, I got some prep out of the way. Our main dish was coconut curried mussels with leeks. Since leeks can be quite sandy. I like to slice them first and then give them a bath in a large bowl of water. I push them down, and loosen up the rings with a little swish. Then, I lift them up out of the water, letting the debris fall to the bottom of the bowl.

Hungry?
